Our take on the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer

The e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer is a solid, balm-like face primer in a 0.74 oz compact. It glides on to blur pores and smooth texture, and squalane helps grip makeup for longer wear while limiting moisture loss. It suits shoppers who want a smoothing, pore-focused base without a silicone-heavy liquid feel. Against liquid primers it is thicker and more targeted at texture, and it is a widely used budget alternative to higher-end putty and blurring primers.
